Chef Gaggan Anand’s Bangkok-based epicurean wonder ‘Gaggan’ restaurant was named the Best Restaurant in Asia 2018 at a grand ceremony organized at the Wynn Palace, Macao. The awards, sponsored by S Pellegrino & Acqua Panna, also named ‘Gaggan’ as the Best Restaurant in Thailand.

For the uninitiated, ‘Gaggan’ was started by Indian Chef Gaggan Anand after he was dissatisfied with his previous job. Through his venture, the chef has redefined Indian cuisine and has successfully introduced it to the mainstream fine dining. However, the restaurant’s famous 25-course emoji tasting menu is not the only reason behind its enormous success.

Chef Gaggan Anand reveals that before starting with his venture, he had roped in celebrity astrologer Sundeep Kochar for his valuable Vaastu insights. Dr Kochar, who happens to be one of the best Vaastu consultants in India, took great care of the Vaastu compliance of the restaurant. The end result? ‘Gaggan’ has been reigning as the best restaurant in Asia from the last 4 years.

Gaggan is not the only restaurant that has received the golden touch of ace Vaastu consultant and astrologer Sundeep Kochar. ‘Sühring’, another restaurant in Bangkok that was made Vaastu compliant by Dr Kochar, has ranked No. 4 on the list of Asia’s 50 best restaurants. ‘Sühring’ has done for German cuisine what ‘Gaggan’ has done for its Indian counterpart, and both restaurants are frequently named among the best fine dining restaurants not only in Bangkok or Thailand, but in entire Asia.

Upon being asked about how he felt about the two restaurants gaining so much fame, celebrity astrologer Sundeep Kochar replied, “It gives me immense pleasure to have been a part of their (Gaggan’s and ) journey. Yes, I did provide some insights on how to make the structure Vaastu compliant, but I believe the true credit for their success goes to the amazing food they serve.”

According to Dr Sundeep Kochar, while Vaastu and astrology might contribute their share to businesses’ success, the actual success depends on the efforts you put in. “Vaastu and astrology are guiding forces; they can only show you the most fruitful path. However, the final outcome is determined by the amount of hard work you pour in to make things work,” he said.
